Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Arrange the bacon slices on a sheet pan. Put in the oven and bake until crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan to a cutting board and chop. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the beef, Worcestershire, onion soup mix, bread crumbs, black pepper, stock and the chopped bacon.
- Form portions of the meat around bocconcini to make smooth balls. Arrange the meatballs on a sheet pan with a rack and bake until thoroughly browned, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add the oil to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot add the onion, garlic, basil, oregano and pepper and saute for a few minutes. Stir in the crushed and diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes and the bouillon. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the meatballs from the pan to a serving platter and serve with the marinara sauce.
BACON-WRAPPED, CHEESE-STUFFED, SMOKY BARBECUE MEATBALLS
This is all-American 'tailgate' food. The magic ingredient is liquid smoke. Added to the basting sauce and meatballs, it gives a moreish quality you won't be able to resist!

Steps:
- Put all the ingredients for the smoky BBQ sauce in a pan, add 125ml water and season well, then bring to a simmer, whisking until combined. Leave to cool.
- In a bowl, mix together all the meatball ingredients, except the cheese and bacon, and season well. Take a walnut-sized piece of the mixture and flatten it with your hands, then wrap it gently around a mozzarella ball and roll it into a circle the size of a ping-pong ball. You should end up with 20 balls.
- Cut each slice of bacon in half across the short side and wrap half a slice around each ball. Transfer the balls to a baking tray with the overlapping bacon edges underneath, and cook at 190C/170C fan/gas 5 for 20 mins. Brush with the BBQ sauce and return to the oven for 8-10 mins more or until nicely browned. Brush again with sauce and eat warm, with even more sauce on the side for dipping.

CHEESE STUFFED BACON MEATBALLS (AARON MCCARGO, JR.)
Yummy meatballs from Foodnetwork's "Big Daddy's House" - These are really really yummy. The recipe calls for applewood smoked bacon but my grocery store didn't have that so I substituted with regular bacon.

BACON WRAPPED CHEESE STUFFED MEATBALLS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean up) and place a rack in the pan (I use a rack like you use to cool cookies) In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, torn bread, water, onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper and egg. Blend well. Divide meat into 8 equal portions. Form meatball around a cube of cheese. Wrap with one slice of bacon, then turn the meatball 90 degrees and wrap in another slice of bacon. Place meatballs, bacon seam-side down on the rack in the prepared pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until bacon is nicely browned and beginning to look crisp (the bacon won't crisp on the bottom, FYI).
